Coloring

 One of the more unique features of my personal film opening is the stylized approach I have taken for coloring my scenes. Typically, in animation, the coloring of frames is simple; line art is a regular base color, and everything within the line art is colored however the artists please. It sounds simple, yes. However, given the time that I have for this to be finished, I will not be able to color with such "wholeness".

With this being said, I have found my solution to this issue. Instead of having basic, simple colors that can be used purely for aesthetic choices, I have decided to color my scenes in a way that shows what the tension and intentions the characters face are. For instance, 


In this scene, the Bounty Hunter is shown with a deep blue line art.


Later on in this scene, we see the Sheriff chasing after him. The Sheriff has a deep red line art, with the frame being surround by a red vignette.

These color choices help emphasize the mood and feeling of these scenes. The Bounty Hunter is meant to be shown as the panicked man escaping danger, while the Sheriff himself is the danger he's escaping. In a matter of seconds, the viewer can automatically tell who's the cause and who's the effect.
